Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Shela was grinning; she had got the thorn removed from the heart!

“Letitia,” Elgin sensed something was off, “why are you bleeding?”

Even in excruciating pain, Letitia didn’t spill the beans about her pregnancy.

She nearly bit through her lower lip, “I-I’m just on my period…”

Elgin scrunched up his face in disgust

“Mr. Ramirez, should we take her to the hospital?” Shela asked, “She looks like she’s in a lot of pain.”

The kid’s gone anyway Once we get to the hospital and Mr. Ramirez finds out she was knocked up, I can smear her name, saying she had slept with some other guy!

Two birds, one stone!

“It’s just her period, Elgin said with icy indifference. She won’t die. Leave her be.”

He walked past her without a shred of pity, not even a glance..

Shela followed him, smug and satisfied.

Letitia, propping herself up on the ground, dragged her body toward the exit, “Help… help me…”

“Madam! The butler was horrified at the sight. “What in the world is…”

Letitia grabbed the butler’s hand like it was a lifeline, “Take me to the hospital, now!”

There might still be a chance to save the baby if there’s time!

“Right away!” The butler sprang into action!

At the hospital, the doctors wasted no time and rushed Letitia into the OR!

The second she hit the operating table, Letitia couldn’t hold on anymore and blacked out.

Two hours later.

“Thank goodness, the doctor emerged, taking a deep breath, “Mother and child are safe!”

The butler was gobsmacked. Mother… and child? Mrs. Ramirez was pregnant?

Nurses wheeled Letitia out of the OR

Just then, Shela’s father, Mark Ward, happened to pass by wearing a mask.

He glanced over casually, then realized the woman on the bed was Letitial

So, the ‘mother and child safe’ the doctor mentioned was her!

She… was carrying Mr. Ramirez’s babyl

Mark immediately ducked into a corner and called Shela, “Shela, we’ve got trouble!”

“What could possibly be wrong, Dad?” Shela thought she was home free, “You’re getting all worked up over nothing.” “just passed by the OR and heard the doctor say… Letitia and the baby are safe!”

Shela’s phone slipped from her grasp.

What?! Despite the danger, Letitia’s baby was saved! Unbelievable!

When Letitia came to, It was already dark.

She stared at the ceiling as tears slowly streamed down her face.

Leba, me to pay and pick up your meds, do you have any family with you?” the nurse came in, “We’ll do an ultrasound

Chapter 20

“Meds? Ultrasound?”

“Yeah, you’ve been prescribed medication to stabilize the pregnancy”

Letitia bolted upright in bed, “My baby…”

“Your baby is fine,” the nurse replied, “you should really thank our head doctor.”

Her tears fell even faster, yet she managed a smile. She was crying tears of joy, she felt blessed by the heavens!

“Thank you, thank you all.. Letitia kept repeating, “I thought… I’d just learned of this child’s existence, only to lose it…”

After getting her meds and finishing the check-up, Letitia didn’t dare linger and left in a hurry.

She couldn’t afford to stay in the hospital, with no excuse to offer!

She couldn’t let anyone find out she was pregnant!

Back at Ivory Towers, the living room was back to its pristine condition, not a trace of blood in sight

Letitia lay down on the makeshift bed, her face pale as a ghost.

“Baby mommy’s putting you through so much…”

But Letitia didn’t have the luxury to wallow, because she had to go to work the next day.

She had to act like nothing was wrong.

No matter the pain or discomfort, she had to stick to her story about it being her period!

The next day.

Just as Letitia reached her desk, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps at the door.

She looked up and saw Shela! Letitia naturally thought, “What’s she after this time, itching to kick up more drama?”

“Letitia, come out! Shela bellowed arrogantly, “come out right now!”

Letitia stood up, “What do you want?”

“Heh, you’ll find out soon enough.” Shela called over her shoulder, “That’s her, take her!”

Two brutes burst forward and grabbed Letitia by the arms, dragging her out.

Letitia struggled, “What are you doing. Let go! Hands off! You can’t just take people in broad daylight!”

Her colleagues were stunned.

“Call the cops,” Letitia pleaded, or get security, please!”

Shela declared, “Nobody help her! Or I’ll make sure you lose your job and get kicked out of the Ramirez Group!

And just like that, Letitia was hauled away. She couldn’t believe it. Shela had the gall to come to her workplace and snatch her away in front of everyone!

How much power did Elgin give Shela?!

“Letitia, stop wasting your energy. No one’s coming to save you, Shela said venomously, “You’re nothing but trash.”

“What are you up to?”

Tm in a bad mood and feel like blowing off some steam on you.”

Shela took Letitia to an alley and had goons guard both ends

Now, Letitia had no way out, and no passersby would interfere.
